These terms and conditions cannot be changed, altered or varied, without prior approval from the Traffic Department. Deviations will result in the issuance of chargebacks which will be deducted from your invoice.

Our preference is to receive product on four way wooden pallets measuring 40 inches in length and 48 inches in width.

Incoming deliveries being shipped collect via LTL carriers should consist of no more than six pallets. The total weight for a shipment must not exceed 5,000 lbs. or be more than 750 cubic feet.

Overshipments, unauthorized substitutions, or defective goods may be returned at the shippers cost.

Select the carrier from the list of Bayer Corporation Approved Carriers. If the specified carrier does not service your area directly or special requirements are needed, i.e. oversized freight, flat bed trailer, shipments requiring freezers or special handling, call Bayer Corporation Routing Contact for assistance.

Using a carrier other than a Bayer Corporation Approved Carrier is a violation of this routing guide and holds Bayer Corporation obligated to your rates and terms with no legal recourse. When this occurs the entire freight cost may be charged back to the shipper.

Shipments should be consolidated on one bill of lading whenever possible to avoid excessive freight charges.
